(Reuters) - The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) said on Wednesday it has provided 5,000 Starlink satellite internet terminals to the Government of Ukraine in partnership with Elon Musk-founded SpaceX.

Starlink's terminals help a user connect to the internet through the company's constellation of satellites without the need for a cable connection.
